9.3  Remote Management Technical Reference
This section provides some technical background information about the topics 
covered in this chapter.
9.3.1  Remote Management Limitations
Remote management does not work when:
• You have not enabled that service on the interface in the corresponding remote 
management screen.
• You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
• The IP address in the Secured Client IP field does not match the client IP 
address. If it does not match, the ZyXEL Device will disconnect the session 
immediately.
• There is already another remote management session with an equal or higher 
priority running. You may only have one remote management session running 
at one time.
9.3.2  Remote Management and NAT
When NAT is enabled:
• Use the ZyXEL Device’s WAN IP address when configuring from the WAN. 
• Use the ZyXEL Device’s LAN IP address when configuring from the LAN.
9.3.3   System Timeout
There is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes (three 
hundred seconds). The ZyXEL Device automatically logs you out if the 
management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period. The 
management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling.
